Total time
55 minutes
Ingredients
6 oz canned salmon
1/4 C plain breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 Tbsp light mayonnaise
1/2 tsp stone ground mustard
1 green onion (sliced)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
1 pn cayenne pepper
1 pn ground black pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 hamburger buns
1 C spring mix salad
Instructions
  1. Drain the canned salmon and add it to a bowl with the breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, mustard, green onion, and Cajun seasoning spices. Stir to combine the ingredients, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow time for the spices to blend and the breadcrumbs to absorb moisture.
  2. After 30 minutes, shape the salmon mixture into two patties, about 3-4 inches in diameter each.
  3. Heat the oil and butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the salmon burgers and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are well browned.
  4. To serve, place one burger on each bun and top with a small handful of spring mix.
Notes

Chef Tip: you may use store-bought Cajun seasoning instead, but be aware that such seasoning blend is often high in salt.
